Resident evil 6 trailer

Predictions for high sales are expected for the next installment in the popular Resident Evil franchise with Capcom releasing a sales forecast for the coming financial year giving reason to believe that about 7 million copies of the upcoming Resident Evil 6 will be moved worldwide, making it the best-selling game in Capcom’s history.

With Street Fighter II holding their company record of over 6.3 million copies sold, their expectations are high due to the success of Resident Evil 5, which is a second place with 5.8 million copies sold globally. In an article on Pikimal this news of Capcom predicting massive sales may be thought of as a high estimation, yet many improvements to the game are aimed at larger audiences giving them cause to be confident with this forecast.

Expectations for their other upcoming titles have not been met with such confidence even though they forecast the latest game in the Devil May Cry series is projected to move 2 million, and Lost Planet 3 is set to reach 1.4 million. Another new title, Dragon’s Dogma, is expecting to sell in the region of 1.5 million copies. Resident Evil 6 is due for release on November 20th for Xbox 360 and PS3 with a PC version coming out sometime after and Dread Central report on the finalized box art and official logo of the game, which some may say looks a bit like a Giraffe in a compromising position.

As we struggle to maintain our excitement for this game, we also take into account an article we posted last month on the latest revelations regarding Resident Evil 6 and the news of day-one DLC pre-order bonuses exclusive to specific retailers, which will add to the issues and controversy that come about with Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken.
